My brother accidentally broke a decorative hanging light in our backyard over the weekend. He and my mom cleaned up all (or so they thought) of the glass. Nick and I were on the trampoline with my brother today and we were barefoot! We were going inside when I felt this sharp pain on the bottom of my foot. I lifted my foot up and there was a piece of glass shoved into my foot about a quarter inch. I pulled it out immediately (that's what she said haha). It hurt like hell! I sat down on the deck, not looking at my foot because I was scared to see it. Nick ran and got some paper towels to put pressure on it. He came back out and was like, "Oh my God, this is bad." I started crying because I was so scared. He put the paper towel on my foot and got another one to clean up the blood on the deck. Almost the entire paper towel was covered in blood. It was bleeding like CRAZY. I asked him if I needed stitches, he said he couldn't tell because it was bleeding so much. My brother and his friend came up on the deck and I asked my brother to go get my dad. My dad came out a few minutes later and had Nick help me hobble over to a chair. The bleeding had slowed down so my dad said I probably didn't need stitches because if I did, it wouldn't stop bleeding. I was SO relieved. Then my dog tried to lick the blood off the deck. EW!!! Anyways, I have a big bandaid on it now and it really doesn't look that bad. It just hurts to walk on. Thank God I sit at my job haha.
I finally got paid!! Not a lot, because the paycheck is from when I was in Cancun. However, I get another paycheck on Friday so I should be good with money then. I am trying to save about 25-50% of what I make every month. I figure if I do that, I will have plenty saved to move out when I graduate college. I'd like to move out before then, but if I just end up moving out of state, I don't really see the point. Plus, this way I will have more saved up. My family is cool so I don't mind living here.
Nick's brother and sister-in-law get here tomorrow! It is going to be so fun. I think we're going to Black Hawk, and maybe Elitch's or Water World. Yay! The 4th is going to be awesome. I don't know exactly what we're doing, but it will be great.
I wanted to go to Florida at the end of July, but I don't think it's going to work out. Bummer. Oh well. I need to save my money, not blow it.
I am catsitting for a week at the end of July. I will probably make about $75 doing that, which will go directly to my savings. I should make over $1000 the rest of the summer and I really want to save a good portion of that.
Life wouldn't be as good as it is without Nick. He is so wonderful. I think I could marry him. Not for a long time, like 2-3 years at least, but I definitely think we have that potential. It's so exciting to find someone you love so much! He rocks my world haha!
